02August   {Giveaway} Victoria McGill Eye Defining Contour Strips
20 FOFs will get to test Eye Defining Contour Strips by Victoria McGill. To enter, answer in the comments below: What would you most want to change about your eyes?

Thank you for entering. This contest is now closed.




About fifteen years ago, FOF Judy McGill had a bug bite that turned into a scab above her eye. The scab had a lifting effect, pulling taut the loose skin on her eyelids. She wondered if there was a way she could recreate the look, this time on both of her eyes, after her scab healed. Judy, who worked at a grocery store at the time, perused the aisles and experimented with different materials until she found what she was looking for -- surgical grade medical adhesive. She cut it to size and began wearing it in the contour of her eye lid.

"The effect was instant," says her daughter, Victoria. "It tucked the loose skin into its natural crease and gave her such a youthful look."


Judy spent the next few years making modifications to the strips such as adding "makeup-gripping" material to the top to hold liner and eyeshadow. She finally patented the product in 2001. Victoria began marketing and selling it when her mother fell ill with leukemia. "I knew how happy my mother had been when she wore the strips," says Victoria. "I said to her, 'what if we bring this to everyone?' And we did."

Today, celeb makeup artists including Patrick Eichler and Jennifer Snowdon swear by the crescent-shaped adhesive when they want to create a lifted, more defined eyelid--instantly.  Be one of 20 FOFs who put them to the test...

    I would change what so many others would….that fold of skin that sags over the eyelid as we age. Not only does it make you look older, but it for me interferes with my site.

    These would keep women from premature surgery — surgery could wait until the sagging still occurs after using the strips!

    If I had control of the universe, the thing I would most want to change about my eyes is the sagging top part of my lid. I never realized what a drastice change took place in one year. I don’t remember my eyelids sagging like this last year, so it had to be turning 57 and all the stressful events of the past years that did this to my otherwise “okay” eyes. I would like an eye lift, but simply can’t afford one. These strips sound like just the right trick.

    I used to have beautiful big blue almond shaped eyes. Over the years they appear smaller due to the sagging skin of the eyelid. Sometimes I stand in front of the mirror wondering where those eyes are today!
